Global Student

I wrote about my alternative path in education, skipping high school and going straight to college and taking several opportunities to travel and live abroad, for Maya Frost's new book Global Student.  It is receiving a lot of press already - check out this USA Today link!  http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-06-08-college-book_N.htm
And a Boston Globe book review:

The cover of Maya Frost's book The New Global Student. "Schools are important partners, but as parents we are responsible for making sure that our kids develop the skills they need to thrive in the global economy. We can't assume this will happen magically after 12 years of class attendance and standardized tests," Frost says.
